Details
We should isolate permissions by user context by default on Nightly.
Bug 1422056 added a pref for this which is default off at the moment:
permissions.isolateBy.userContext
Before enabling we should ensure we don't regress permission consumers, e.g. Bug 1597751.

Hey Paul, I'm working on the API for WebDriver BiDi to set permissions (see bug1875065 for more details), and we expect that permissions are isolated in the user context to which they are set, so for this to work we would need to enable this preference. We can do it just for the protocol. Would it be okay with you? Would you have any concerns with it?

Off-hand I don't have any concerns, the mechanism that separates permissions by user context should still work. We mainly haven't enabled this for Firefox users yet since we lack the proper management UI for permissions that would allow users to manage them per container. In automation this would most likely not be a concern?
We have some automated test coverage for the permission separation, but it's not great. So I'd recommend to do at least some smoke testing to ensure nothing breaks.
